Bees are the best — for the environment and for your skin. They make honey, propolis and royal jelly, all three of which are great for any skin type (unless you’re vegan or allergic to bees, in which case skip them), and a particular secret weapon for dry, sensitive skin types that are prone toContinue reading “Must Love Bees: The Buzz on Bee Products”

March Openeds Reviews
I evidently broke all my rules about how often one should start new products this month — I usually say no more frequent than once per week. But this month saw a lot of old favorites for me (Krave Beauty, Versed, Inkey List, Good Skin Days) and my skin has been really thirsty and moreContinue reading “March Openeds Reviews”
March Empties Review
Another month down, another bin full of empties. I don’t know how I keep ending up with so many — I think this month is an official record. 17 empties in total? Granted, two are body skincare and five were minis and one was also in use by my husband but now I’m just rationalizing.Continue reading “March Empties Review”
February Openeds Review
February brought new products focused on soothing winter skin. Colorado doesn’t do dry skin any favors in the best of times, and even a winter spent indoors can do numbers on the skin. So I searched my stash for things that could help me get by, plus add a little fun to boot. Skinfood RoyalContinue reading “February Openeds Review”
February Empties Review
February might be the shortest month, but you wouldn’t know it to look at my empties. Everything is listed in the order I finished it, more or less. Buckle in!
January Openeds Review
This month should have been a pretty wild one for opening products, since Santa brought so many goodies. Instead, it seemed like half of what I opened had been on hand for a while, another was a splurge I made in November that just arrived, and only ONE THING came from Santa. In poor Santa’sContinue reading “January Openeds Review”
January Empties Review
This is possibly an empties record, which is easy to set when your skincare life practically revolves around minis: two cleansers, two masks, one toner, one serum, one moisturizer, one facial oil and one first essence. Products are listed in the order that I finished them this month.
An Incomplete Introduction to Hydrating Toners
I LOVE TONERS. SO MUCH I currently have all of these pictured above in rotation, and honestly my skin has never looked or felt better. If you haven’t gotten on the hydrating toner train yet, I 110% encourage and endorse it, regardless of your skin type. Specifically for dry skin in a dry place, IContinue reading “An Incomplete Introduction to Hydrating Toners”
December Empties Review
It’s that time again! Posting my empties before the end of the month this time because I have a “New Year New Face” post planned for a couple days from now. 😂 Plus for whatever reason it seems like y’all are hotly anticipating this, and who am I to deny you? (Note: this month IContinue reading “December Empties Review”
December Openeds Review
I’ve never done this before, but I wanted to share my initial review of the products OPENED in December. I’m trying to coin the hashtag #skincareopeneds but I doubt it will stick. (But heyyyy if you want to roll with it, please do.) Anyways, this looks like a lot but I had tried two before, and amContinue reading “December Openeds Review”
